So I'm thinking of doing some preventative maintenance when installing a to be decided lift kit. From what I've learned, a major cause of deathwobble is wear and tear on the front trackbar brackets. And from reading, I don't want to hassle with rear trackbar relocation brackets, I want something sturdy and long lasting. I've found these support brackets for the front and rear trackbars and was wondering which ones to go with.

JKS Front brace: weld-on

Teraflex rear brace: bolt-on

Teraflex rear bracket: bolt-on [not sure if this is a brace or a relocation bracket?]

And I couldn't find a Teraflex front brace other then the one they use for the draglink flip kit, but I don't plan on lifting that high to require a flip kit.

 

Im looking to do a high stear kit and raise the trackbars for better handling.

also look at the AEV hight stear kit, it is all bolt on, except drilling the knuckle

i like that teraflex rear bracket $97.00 the cheeper part is a frame mounted bracket like what comes with basic kits, it will lower the roll center rather than raise it.

You want to raise the track bars up from the axle, with the front you must flip the drag link

 

forgot to mention I am at 3.5" and feel I need the flip done.

 

Got with the #1954777 u-bolt rear trackbar bracket. That one works better than the frame drop bracket.

 

the JKS brackets rais the track bar from the axle as well and if you really want an all bolt on kit, i would recommend the off road evolution bracket instead. it's exactly the same bracket and costs less.

if you don't mind, i'd love for you to explain in detail and in your own words, the science of how a track bar relocation bracket at the frame "lowers" your roll center.

you'll forgive me but, the only "must" when relocating your track bar is to address your drag link at the same time so that it is parallel with the track bar. you can do this by flipping your drag link OR installing a dropped pitman arm.

 

Ok, so the Teraflex rear u-bolt bracket would be good. Any comments on the JKS front bracket?

 

Any other opinions?

 

i know welding is the most secure method of attatchment but i think I want to stick to the bolt on, if my dana 30 breaks I could re use on a 44.
